On behalf of the Kroessman Krusaders Alzheimer Memory Walk team, I want to thank the following businesses and people for the great success of our bowling tournament held at the Tell City Bowling Center Sept. 22.

I would like to take this time to commend Mayor Barbara Ewing, Zoning Commissioner Bob Young and Councilman Chris Cail for all their hard work in getting the property cleared along High Street and Riverview Drive in the Fennhaven community of Tell City.

I have frequently visited Tell City for the last 18 years and have noticed all the vacant, dilapidated homes in the Fennhaven area.

Being at the young age of 26, as my co-workers like to point out from time to time, there are some events I’ve missed here in Perry County. However, after the past few weeks, I can say I’m very happy and feel privileged to have been here for Cannelton’s 175th anniversary celebration.

Two Indiana Supreme Court justices and four Court of Appeals judges are up for retention on Election Day in November. Voters will decide “yes” or “no” on whether to retain each justice or judge. Justices are elected to a term that could potentially last for 10 years. Once the justice is elected it is virtually impossible to remove them.

We would like to thank everyone who participated and came to see our 175th celebration parade Oct. 7. The following are the winners of the parade contest.

Community division – first place, Margaret and Larry Schank and Patty Seibert in the Sisters of the Swish 1962 remake; second place, Cannelton Elementary School children float; third place, Girl Scout troop float.
